This song powerfully captures the essence of Christian faith, focusing on the significance of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ at the cross, a central symbol in Christianity representing redemption, sacrifice, and salvation. The 'place where mercy reigns and never dies' and where 'streams of grace flow deep and wide' metaphorically describes the cross as the ultimate source of divine mercy, grace, and love that is boundless and eternal.
There's a place Where mercy reigns And never dies There's a place Where streams of grace Flow deep and wide Where all the love I've ever found Comes like a flood Comes flowing down At the cross, at the cross I surrender my life I'm in awe of You I'm in awe of You Where Your love ran red And my sin washed white I owe all to You I owe all to You Jesus There's a place Where sin and shame Are powerless Where my heart Has peace with God And forgiveness Where all the love I've ever found Comes like a flood Comes flowing down At the cross, at the cross I surrender my life I'm in awe of You I'm in awe of You Where Your love ran red And my sin washed white I owe all to You I owe all to You Here my hope is found Here on holy ground Here I bow down Here I bow down Here arms open wide Here You save my life Here I bow down Here I bow down At the cross, at the cross I surrender my life I'm in awe of You I'm in awe of You Where Your love ran red And my sin washed white I owe all to You I owe all to You I owe all to You I owe all to You Jesus (oh) Where Your love ran red Your love ran red
